The Graphics

Trends come and ago, as fast as the seasons, but one trend I like, and its always a classic is black and white. I love the look because its fresh, yet tasteful and classic. You can add a splash of your favorite color with it. Mine would be fuchsia, or any other color. Black and white are seasonless, classic colors that can be dresses up or down, depending on your style. Below are some pictures of graphic black and white outfits, some I'd actually wear.

Take the Time to Just Unwind to Pamper Yourself

Taking the type to pamper yourself shouldn't make you feel guilty, it should be a must so then you're taking care of yourself on the outside such as getting your hair and nails done. Even some new makeup should be included in that. 

  This week I've taken the time just to unwind and pamper myself before this coming weekend, in which I'll be busy...again. I gave myself a manicure and pedicure, facial, a clay mask, and had my hair trimmed up by my favorite hairdresser who just opened up her own shop!!!!
Even though I had to re-do my nails because I smudged them, I find doing my nails soothing because you're just being still and calm, hopefully, and you can see your results. I took the time as well to do a clay mask like I did the other and now my skin feels super smooth and soft. I plan on doing clay masks every 2 weeks to keep my skin looking its best.

So take the time to unwind from a long day, and pamper youself with a long, hot bath, lighting your favorite candles, putting on your favorite tunes, and curling up with a favorite drink and a magazine or book.

What Every Stylish Woman Should Have Part 1 Trench Coats

Every woman should have a nice, stylish, chic wardrobe that says "You". So with some inspiration, below is a list of things every stylish woman should have in her closet. The next several posts will help to figure out what to keep, what to toss, and what to add to your closet. We all want to look and feel our best when we get dressed every morning, for different events and occassions.

As you get ready in the morning and look in your closet, is it filled with clothes you love or is it filled with clothes that keep you covered so you can get out the front door?
　
The list and pictures in this post and the next 15 posts will help you with just that. This is just part 1 of many more posts to come. However, I've divided it up into catogories, starting with trench coats to suits and dresses then working our way down to shoes!!!

A trench coat should be a staple in a woman's wardrobe. They give off a sophisticated, yet trendy, classic vibe. They keep the wind and rain off in the spring and fall. They are perfect to wear on cool days.

Khaki gabardine is the classic, but playing around with color can be even funner. Black and tan/camel is always nice too , but color makes you stand out from the crowd just a little bit more. Try one in a deep purple or fuchsia, or sky blue.

What Every Stylish Woman Should Have Part 2 Coats

Every winter it seems we pull out a bulky, more than likely an ugly winter coat. So instead of settling for just any ol' coat, make it fabulous because more than likely you'll be wearing it all winter long, given you don't live where its 70 degrees all winter long. A great coat ups your style quotient and keeps the elements out and warmth in.

While coats can be on the pricy side,but its well worth, especially if you live in area where its pretty cold for a long time. If you're able to, you should have a coat for work, weekend, those rainy days, evening and when its bitter, bitter cold outside, like a Chicago winter cold kind of coat.

What Every Stylish Woman Should Have Part 3 Suites

Suits are all about sleek sophistication. Men may have to wear them every day, but woman have that option of wearing them. Every woman should have a well made suit, that includes a jacket, pants and a skirt. All in the same style. You'll want to buy all three pieces from the same store so then you know they go together. If you have the means to do so, have a suit in black, tan, gray, cream and white.

To get more use out of your suit, break it up. Pair the jacket with jeans and a cute top for a girl's night out, or wear the skirt with a classic turtle neck to work on a casual Friday.
